Dave Kordahl - It's the implication of otherwise unattainable quality that I'm looking askance at, not the notion of a person going into their parent's field of work.

Is the cabinet made by the person from a family of cabinet makers the carpentry-equivalent of Jakob Dylan's music? My answer depends on this.

I have completely forgotten the Moxie thing. What was that?

I didn't mean write her out, I meant make her be on the show the same amount as, say, Ron.

I think next season the show should make Leslie a secondary character and fully follow April. I love Leslie, but she's had her arc and really doesn't have anywhere left to go within the confines of the show. So switch it to April. I think it could be really interesting to shift the focus to her. I'd like, for example,…

Nick Slaughter - You don't really get the concepts of "hobbies" or "having interests outside of work," do you? Much like you can read XX on Slate and understand the problematic implications of the "fake geek girl" hysteria without being a gender studies professor, people without science degrees and jobs can read books…

It's not just a narrative device - the article we're commenting on explains that Paisley wrote this song because he caught some flak for wearing an Alabama shirt with a Confederate flag on it. Here's an article linked to in this article explaining the background: http://blogs.tennessean.com…

Except he wrote the song about a time he personally wore a Confederate flag t-shirt, so how is this about some country fans and not him?

Max kissed Grant.

Trurl - Have you read "The Sea Was Wet As Wet Could Be" by Gahan Wilson? It's excellent and really plays with the doom-y vibe of the Carroll poem.

That response makes you look rather less relaxed then gil mann in this situation. So I guess relax and try not to get so defensive about your joke not landing?

They've shown Ben getting his head turned by Eagleton's seductive promise of wall-to-wall omelette bars and gift bags, so I can buy him just being excited for a couple of days about the luxury rather than immediately thinking it through.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I cried myself to sleep last night when I realized I could never have him.

I kept my name, though we jokingly considered a portmanteau because in our case it would be "Malice." But really, it never occurred to me that I would change my name. It's my damn name. Why would I? Obviously I've always known it's the custom (every woman in my family changed her name), but I remember thinking even…

"In the Realms of the Unreal: Insane Writings" edited by John Oakes has an excerpt. It's readily available on Amazon. You'll probably find that an excerpt more than satisfies your curiosity.

Hooray! Glad that was it.

If "personal interaction" makes more sense to you than "mutual interaction" then I'm fine using that term instead. I was attempting to indicate that both people involved are interacting with each other. I was trying to come up with a phrase that implies the difference between "some dude at the company that made…

I already said I can understand calling it cheating only if it's mutually interactive, and that looking at pre-made pictures and videos is not cheating, so I assume you mean "soliticing" as in specifically asking someone to do something for you.
